"Hey! Don't lie on my couch, don't you have your own nest?! "When Henson woke up in the morning and saw the Erha named Korna comfortably tearing the couch with his dirty paws, Henson wanted to kick the guy out.

But Henson didn't, and of course it wasn't because he was loving. But if he does that, it is estimated that he will be kicked out by Anjiali again.

So Henson had no choice but to push the big dog to the ground, but Kona didn't seem to resent Henson, and licked Henson's hands with saliva very passionately.

"Ah, what the hell!"

Today, it's February 23rd. Angeli left Indianapolis early yesterday morning and flew to New York. The next time the two of them see each other, it should be the playoffs.

On the 23rd, the Pacers will also have their second game day since the All-Star break. And before that, two big things happened to the Pacers.

The first is the whistle-blowing deal for D.J. Augustine. The second did not cause much discussion in the alliance. Because people are very used to seeing Sean. Livingston, a player, has been drifting and drifting.

At the end of the year, the defending champion Pacers lightningly signed Livingston, who had been sitting at home for two months after losing D.J. Augustine. Livingston will play for the Pacers until the end of the season, and some reporters quipped: "At least Livingston doesn't have to worry about finding a job." ”

At this point, the Pacers' mid-season personnel changes are all over. Swapping Augustin for Livingston has not damaged the team's existing personnel structure, chemistry and condition, and has also made the Pacers' bench deeper.

Of course, Henson said Livingston wouldn't be out too soon. First, Livingston still has some old injuries to recover. Second, Livingston has been out of action for two months and needs to get back into form in training.

Livingston agrees. As for Livingston's prospects with the Pacers, Henson is very bullish.

His injuries, his abilities, will no longer be a problem with the Pacers' unique badge bonus!

After dealing with the silly-looking dog and explaining to him that he was not allowed to mess with the furniture, Henson was able to go out.

A few rare days of warm storage are over, the season is still going on, and I must not drop the chain.

"Kona, don't drop your chain."

"David. West hook hand hit! Haha, he's in Greg. Monroe has to eat and drink! 8-of-11 shooting, 18 points, David. West played very efficiently today and Monroe's defence was no threat to him. ”

"Rigorously, Miller. It's the entire Pistons' defense that can't pose a threat to the defending champions. ”

At ten o'clock in the evening of the 23rd, there were not many fans in the Bankers Life Arena. Normally, it is only when the game goes into garbage time that fans leave the stadium early.

And the Detroit Pistons, who have never been connected to the top eight in the East this season, naturally cannot take advantage of the Pacers. The situation now is that the Pacers lead the Pistons by 25 points and are only 2 minutes away from the end of the game

"The win was so easy for the Pacers that Coach Henson's ass never even left the bench. With 51 wins, the Pacers are less than two minutes away from earning their 51st win of the season. "Jeff. Van Gundy shook his head, once upon a time the confrontation between the Pistons and the Pacers was also a bright picture in the league.

And now? Every time the Pistons hit the walkers, all that awaited them was slaughter.

"51 wins? I think we can already celebrate the Pacers' five-game winning streak with 52 wins. Because of tomorrow's back-to-back games, the Pacers' opponent is still the Detroit Pistons, but the battlefield is changed to Detroit. "Reggie. Miller spread his hands, and every season the regular season league arranges such a set of games, that is, two teams play two games in a row home and away.

And in this kind of game, the Pacers have never lost. The picture of Henson leading the team to beat the Knicks twice last season is still vivid. What's the obstacle to a mere Detroit Pistons?

So on February 24th, in Detroit, the city of automobiles, as Reggie . Miller said the Pacers are still going strong in this back-to-back game.

114-82 and 90-72, the Pacers easily completed a double kill against the Detroit Pistons. So far, the Pacers have officially won their 52nd game, and it has been three consecutive wins after the All-Star break.

There's nothing to discuss about the victory over the Detroit Pistons in itself, after all, the Pistons' strength is there. But the Pacers' victory over the Pistons has raised another high-profile topic - can the Indiana Pacers break the myth of 72 wins created by the Chicago Bulls!

"By the end of February, the Pacers had won 52 games! The Chicago Bulls of that year had a similar record to the current Pacers! I think they have a good chance of breaking this history! ”

"No, it can't be. Coach Henson is very good at not overloading his players for the sake of such an illusory record. I'm willing to bet that after the game gets to March, Coach Henson will start to take a big break. Their goal, but the championship. ”

"What, someone actually said that 72 wins in a single season is an illusory record? You better stop watching basketball and go home. ”

The experts from all walks of life analyzed each other fiercely, and even began to tear each other apart, but Henson himself did not say anything about the 72-win event.

Say he doesn't care about the 72-win record? That's impossible, after all, who wouldn't want to break the record for the greatest win in history. But Henson also really didn't want to consume a lot of energy on his players in the regular season. If you lose the championship for 72 wins, it will be more than worth the loss.

So whether to pursue this record, Henson is also very entangled. But the only thing he can do now is play the game well.

The remaining two games in February, the Pacers played the Warriors and Clippers, respectively, and both won one after another.

While the Warriors have been causing problems for the Pacers as always, Stephen Brown. Curry even shot 7-of-10 from three-point range! But the Pacers relied on a gritty defense as well as David. West's 28 points still killed the Warriors by 9 points! As for the leadership of the Los Angeles Clippers, Griffin's ability still needs to be improved.

Against the Clippers, West scored 24 points on Griffin's head. Although Griffin is strong and strong, he has amazing bounces. But that clever little short arm and inaccurate judgment of defensive timing made his defense extremely sloppy.

David. West, the old man has been in hot form lately, as if he has suddenly become the younger version of himself. And because of West's hot form, Henson has also increased his playing time every game.

The unstoppable form of the Pacers and West continued into March, and after the victory over the Raptors and the Bulls who lost Rose, respectively, the Pacers have won nine in a row and their record has become 56-4!

"72 wins are imminent!" Many Indianapolis media outlets even promoted it.

However, just when everyone thought the Pacers would win another 10-game winning streak, trouble came again.

On March 6, the Indiana Pacers play at home against old rivals Boston Celtics.

Since the loss of Ray. With Allen, Pierce and Garnett all a year older, the Celtics haven't been in great shape this season.

Currently, the Celtics have a 32-27 record and are temporarily in seventh place in the East, just ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks.

In other words, the Celtics aren't champions right now, and they even have to worry about whether their playoff spot is secure.

So in every game, the Celtics fought very fiercely. It's a shame for this giant team not to make the playoffs!

Today, the Celtics played very rough and had a lot of physical contact against a must-win win and an old opponent like the Pacers. It's no exaggeration to say that the intensity of the game has reached the playoff level!

Especially Kevin. Garnett, the eternally passionate power forward, didn't have a big deal with David. West has soft hands. West's hot form in recent games has greatly boosted Garnett's fighting spirit.

As a result, the two No. 4 positions frequently staged hand-to-hand battles, and they fought back and forth! But today, Henson made a mistake.

In the final moments of the game, the scores of both sides were still anxious. Henson continued to let David. West played, and at this time, the 33-year-old West had already played 39 minutes! He was extremely tired, and he had to face Garnett's crazy onslaught.

Finally, in the middle of a layup, the unexpected happened.

West's layup was brutally overturned by Garnett, who was carried off the court by his teammates after spraining his knee due to an unsteady footing.

Looking at West, who was sweating profusely and clutching his knees in pain, Henson suddenly felt very sorry. Let West play for 39 minutes, what are you doing!?

The continuous victories have stunned the head of this champion coach.

However, the bad news was not over, and in the last minute of the game, Ray. Aaron fired in the bottom corner of the right side.

and Ray. Aaron has been on the wrong path for Rajan. Rondo held his breath and roughly blocked it! The ball was not covered, but Ray. But Aaron was Rajan. Rondo gives knock out of the field! Thunder. Allen lost his center of gravity and sprained his ankle after landing, regretting his death.

"Two people were injured in one game! Oh my God, this is a huge blow to Coach Henson! ”

"I've said it all, Coach Henson should have a big rotation! I know the Pacers players have been playing a high level of attendance this season, but no team has been able to avoid injuries completely! It's better to lose the regular season than to lose the playoffs! ”

West and Ray. Allen left the field with injuries one after another, which undoubtedly hit the morale of the players hard. In the end, the Celtics narrowly beat the Pacers by 2 points on the road with their rough physical collision and amazing willpower!

With 56 wins and 5 losses, the Pacers reaped their fifth loss of the game. But that's not the worst, the worst thing is that Henson lost two main players at once!

"I made a fatal mistake against a bloodthirsty team like Celtic that I shouldn't. Damn it! After the game, Henson covered his head with his hands.

Stevens patted Henson on the shoulder soothingly, but said nothing.

"West 39 min, Ray. Allen missed these two men in 28 minutes, and they were both targeted by Celtic players today. If it weren't for being too greedy, if it weren't for being so obsessed with victory"

The lessons of one game showed Henson the need for a late regular season break. Although he has a variety of badges to avoid injuries, he still can't eliminate them at all. Henson was too optimistic about this.

But in the face of the close 72-win record, Henson was a little unwilling. An opportunity for this group of players to go down in history is to be given up like this?

"What about the future? Will there be rotational rest from now on? No one can get hurt anymore, Henson. "Stevens is well aware that the health of a player is the biggest asset for a team to win.

Henson was silent for a few seconds, and the reluctance and anger he had just felt vanished, replaced by the calm he had always had.

"You're right, Brad, no one can get hurt anymore. We're going to take 72 wins with a rotational break! ”

Stevens opened his mouth wide, does this guy know what he's talking about?
